Howdy all,
Chris here with our 1994 “Kickapoo” Toyota Hiace that was recently imported from Japan. The Hiace is a JDM (Japaneese domestic market) vehicle, never imported to the US. Its a true 4x4 that shares many drivetrain parts with the 4Runner like 8” diffs. Its powered by a 3L turbo Diesel. “Kickapoo” is a term my late father-in-law coined for something thats really cool or awesome. Ive always wanted a right hand drive 4x4, and ive always wanted an import diesel 4x4, this rig covers both bases.
We have done a little bit of overlanding previously with our 1994 FZJ80, and 2007 FJ Cruiser. We live in the high desert of northern New Mexico, near Taos, so pretty much surrounded by Overland opportunities right out my gate. The ‘80 was sold to fund a new business, the FJC is too small with our dogs. The investment we made in our business from the sale of the ‘80 ultimately made it possible to purchase the Hiace. Thanks to our Creator for carrying us through 2020!
Pic shows Rebecca and I with James (dude with the awesome beard) who is the importer of these turbo 4x4 JDM rigs.

Our first adventure is a road trip to Montana. Can’t wait to see the rest of this beautiful, free country we live in. I’m excited about the trip and learning as we go. I figure on the way Overland Bound would be a great resource.
